Life is like music; it must be composed by ear, feeling, and instinct, not by rule. Samuel Butler quotes My music will go on forever. Maybe it's a fool say that, but when me know facts me can say facts. My music will go on forever. Bob Marley quotes My music fights against the system that teaches to live and die. Bob Marley quotes Where words fail, music speaks. Hans Christian Andersen quotes Music and dancing (the more the pity) have become so closely associated with ideas of riot and debauchery among the less cultivated classes, that a taste for them, for their own sakes, can hardly be said to exist, and before they can be recommended as innocent or safe amusements, a very great change of ideas must take place. John Herschel quotes Every man's work, whether it be literature or music or pictures or anything else, is always a portrait of himself, and the more he tries to conceal himself the more clearly will his character appear in spite of him. Samuel Butler quotes The poet ranks far below the painter in the representation of visible things, and far below the musician in that of invisible things. Leonardo da Vinci quotes What am I in the eyes of most people--a nonentity, an eccentric, or an unpleasant person--somebody who has no position in society and will never have; in short, the lowest of the low. All right, then--even if that were absolutely true, then I should one day like to show by my work what such an eccentric, such a nobody, has in his heart. That is my ambition, based less on resentment than on love in spite of everything, based more on a feeling of serenity than on passion. Though I am often in the depths of misery, there is still calmness, pure harmony and music inside me. I see paintings or drawings in the poorest cottages, in the dirtiest corners. And my mind is driven towards these things with an irresistible momentum. Vincent Van Gogh quotes Music is the shorthand of emotion. Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy quotes Teaching music is not my main purpose. I want to make good citizens. If children hear fine music from the day of their birth and learn to play it, they develop sensitivity, discipline and endurance. They get a beautiful heart. Shinichi Suzuki quotes |
